Gold Keys/Unique Chests

[Domini Canes]

OK, so who's found some?

Anybody yet?

Trying to get an idea of what type of level drop they are (Hell... NM...)

Cheers.

This must have been pure luck but I got a Gold Key in act3 normal (I think it dropped at Travincal) using patch a2p9 but I have had nothing gold since then. Plenty white, blue, green and orange keys and chests but no more gold.

They should be more common with patch a2p14, but they will still be very rare drops overall. Look for them starting in Act 4 Anger Arising or anywhere in the higher difficulties.

I've been doing /players 12 - 20 or so in Act5 Anger Rising to let my hireling kill things (goes up fairly fast exp at his level 69 - can get 100K relatively quickly).

Haven't seen any yet.

Have done two multiplayer runs in Act2 of ... damn I can never remember the name - Nightmare - in the Arcane Sanctuary, nothing yet.

Thanks for the updates.

Just an update.
20,000 more kills in Anger Rising Ac IV and V since a2p14 and no gold keys or chests yet.

fury releashed, act1, got one chest there. no key so far.

They aren't as rare as vanilla Zod runes by a long shot, but they will still be very rare nonetheless. I might lower the dropdown rates for the beta, but at least with the previous fix it is possible for them to drop.

[Domini Canes]

Out of curiosity, why the extreme rareness?
I can understand that they are used to produce `uniques' so should be rare.

However, with the strength of f.gems and the inability to apply f.gems to sets or uniques it seems like they would be of temporary benefit, but then be less useful/powerful the more you play. As such I can't understand wanting them to be so rare.

Certainly at Unleashed Fury, the only benefit to having a unique would be to pass it along to a secondary lower level character.

Cheers.

There has to be something to try for!

As I said, I might bump the dropback down a ways, but I won't release a separate patch just for that.

[Domini Canes]

Just an update.
80K kills in Anger.
40K kills in NM.

I finally found one unique chest and one unique key.

Both in NM, single-player. One in Act 2, one in Act 3.

Cheers.
